Taking a stand against functioning of central agencies in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said if BJP wanted power in Maharashtra so badly, he was ready to be arrested but the party should stop using central agencies against family members.
“You want power. I will come with you. Arrest me. I will take care of my workers. But stop harassing family members. Stop troubling my party workers using central agencies,” Mr. Thackeray said in the Assembly while replying to a resolution moved by the Opposition on the last day of the Budget session.
The Chief Minister’s statement comes days after property belonging to his brother-in-law Shridhar Patankar was recently attached by the ED in an ongoing money laundering probe.
